To be honest I think the dry weather has given me Stockholm syndrome and I've been lured into thinking a wheeled machine will travel well...... I already know it won't.

But it's not mega money, it can replace the telehandler for my yard stuff. Been offered a ballpark of 5-8k for the TR200.... It's got issues and tbh would sit at 5k for me to pay to have the work done on it to make it as tidy as this backhoe.

There also starting to get thin on the ground. Really I wanted a NH110LB on pilots as a backhoe, but they aren't around and the odd one that comes up is either 10k more than the Terex or shagged.

The backhoe won't do much. But I want a decent yard machine that can turn the odd days work out.

Yes on sticks.

Alternative was a TB175 duck... But the backhoe is significantly cheaper.

At that money I don't think you will be going too wrong with that👍 think rexroth take care of the hydraulics in them so should be a smooth machine?

What year is the Terex mine is a one owner 2007 machine they are superb and have a realy good turning circle on them and will go anywhere with the 20in front wheels, parts can be a pain but Dobsons or Kellands can get them for you, Unfortunately Terex moved their parts dept to Turkey, You can get all of the filters from Rico Europe. They are pretty easy to work on too, I would buy it if you don't 👍

Get it bought! If the price is right you won’t lose,and you know how handy it will be as a yard/ backup machine .
I really regret selling my old contractor for that reason ,but the Manitou has been on hire for 18 months so it made financial sense.
